THAI CHICKEN STIR FRIED WITH HOLY BASIL (GAI PAD GRAPROW)
Chicken stir-fried with holy basil is a favorite Thai dish for many Westerners. Simple to prepare, it is a quick one-dish meal. The addition of fresh chilies makes the dish spicy, but you may adjust the recipe to taste by adding fewer chilies. This is a recipe of cooking instructor and cookbook author Kasma Loha-unchit. ====== NOTES: If you are not able to find fresh holy basil, this recipe can be substituted with any fresh basil... or a mixture of fresh Thai sweet basil and fresh mint leaves. Good results have been reported using ground turkey. In Thailand, this dish is often made with chopped pork, especially in fast-food, curry-rice shops, where an enormous variety of dishes are prepared ahead of time and served over steaming white rice to order. Some of the best pad gka-prow can be had at these inconspicuous, no-frills, open-air places. They are made particularly spicy to help preserve the meat, as the dishes are prepared early in the morning and served throughout the day until they are sold out. Try the above recipe also with fresh seafood (in this case, no need to chop) - shrimps, scallops, mussels, clams, crab and firm-flesh fish, such as fresh halibut and salmon.

Steps:
- Leave the fresh basil leaves whole; the flowers may also be used. The dried holy basil will soften when soaked in tap water for 10-15 minutes. Pull off and discard the hard stems. Drain.
- Heat a wok until the surface is smoking hot.
- Swirl in the oil to coat the wok surface.
- Wait a few seconds for the oil to heat, then stir in the garlic, followed a few seconds later with shallots.
- Stir another few seconds before adding the chicken.
- Stir-fry a minute or two, or until most of the chicken has started to change color on the outside and is no longer pink.
- Toss in the chillies, slivered kaffir lime leaves and reconstituted dried holy basil (if using).
- Sprinkle black soy sauce over the mixture and stir-fry another 15-20 seconds.
- Then add fresh basil leaves and fish sauce to taste. Stir and mix well.
- Stir-fry another half a minute, or until the basil is wilted and the chicken is cooked through.
- Sprinkle with white pepper.
- Stir and transfer to a serving dish, or spoon directly over individual plates of plain steamed rice.

PAD KRAPOW GAI (THAI BASIL CHICKEN)
As dynamic as it is speedy, this ground chicken and green bean recipe from "Night + Market" (Clarkson Potter, 2017) by Kris Yenbamroong and Garrett Snyder, delivers a wallop of flavor with punchy ingredients that stir-fry in just 15 minutes. While this popular Thai street food can be whipped up using a range of proteins, Mr. Yenbamroong refers to his riff as "low-rent" because it's prepared with ground chicken rather than pricier slices of meat. It's piled with basil; Thai basil or holy basil provide more assertive licorice notes, but sweet basil adds herbal bursts of brightness. Spiked with Thai seasoning (see Tip), the chicken mixture is salty on its own, but it's inextricably linked with rice, and imparts the right amount of salinity when dispersed.

Steps:
- Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high, then swirl in the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground chicken and cook, actively breaking the chicken up into small pieces, until it is mostly cooked, about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, sugar and chile until evenly distributed and fragrant, about 2 minutes, then add the green beans, oyster sauce, fish sauce and Thai seasoning, and cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is fully cooked, the green beans are crisp-tender and the krapow is glossy, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add the basil and a dash of white pepper and toss to combine. If the sauce seems to cling too tightly to the mixture, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to make it loose and glossy.
- Serve over rice, and top with a crispy fried egg, if desired. Serve with additional Thai seasoning to sprinkle on top, according to taste.
